Great post, Steve. I think you're quite accurate about how a person eats being an extension of what they believe in. You can say all you want about who you are, but maybe it's what you eat that really speaks volumes.

From one of my favorite essays: "...how we eat determines, to a considerable extent, how the world is used.... Eating with the fullest pleasure -- pleasure, that is, that does not depend on ignorance -- is perhaps the profoundest enactment of our connection with the world." -Wendell Barry

Hmm....that is food for thought (no pun intended). I never really think too much about what I eat being an extension of my beliefs before. In general, I eat pretty healthy and dining out once or twice on the weekends. Almost everyone seems pretty surprise that I eat pretty healthy, snacking on fruits most of the time at work. Of course, they do not know that I write a health and fitness blog. I guess they see anyone under the age of 30 as being junk good fanatics. But you are right though...if you are serious about money, you serious about what you feed yourself.

My wife and I were just talking about how lucky we are that the both of us feel the same way about food and cooking. You're right when you say: "I think if you are serious about money, you will be serious about food." That's how we both started getting into cooking — we were trying to protect our money.
